Prayer for Abandoned Children

-
Vienna Cobb Anderson

Mother, God of all,
hear our prayer
for your children
whose mothers
have abandoned them.
Their pain is unimaginable.
Trust has been broken.
Fear and suspicion
govern their inner being.
Grant unto them
that peace
which you alone can give,
the sure and certain knowledge
that your trust is unfailing,
and your love
that makes us all whole.
Amen.
